Banner of the Evil God
Chapter 556
It must be said that being able to live on grass is indeed a huge advantage.
A few days later, when the technical school announced the enrollment list, Hopps, who came to the school again, looked very energetic except that his clothes were a little old, and his face was even ruddy and shiny.
Because he felt the abundant life energy of the sacred tree, he simply lived under the tree these days, eating wild grass on the ground and some leaves blown down by the wind. After eating, he either practiced martial arts or meditated.
Although he was not good at martial arts and magic, Hopps really knew both. In the past, he was a man with his tail between his legs. Even if he knew, he didn't dare to exercise much. Now he is free and can exercise however he wants.
I don't know if it's the right environment? Or a change in mood? In short, he found that his exercise effect has greatly improved, especially when meditating, he can clearly feel the existence of natural magic. Those vague and unclear feelings in the past have become clear now. The power of nature flows around him, as if it flows into his body with every breath he takes, making him energetic.
(If only it had been like this a few years earlier, how great it would have been!)
Hopes thought so, but he knew it was just wishful thinking.
The past is over. What he has to do now is to become a good worker, earn money to support himself, and never look at other people's faces again. He no longer has to be timid and cowardly, and be a man with his head held high and his chest held high!
The life of the past few days has also given him a lot of feelings. It's not that there are no poor people in the Northwest Republic. He has seen people wearing patched clothes passing by more than once. But even these poor people are in good spirits. They are neither sallow and thin because of hunger, nor depressed because of poverty. Their eyes are bright, and they all look confident.
It's interesting to say that more than one poor person noticed Hopes sleeping under the sacred tree, and several people came to persuade him not to be so decadent, at least to find a temporary job to do-the Void City has a large population, but because it focuses on the service industry, there is always a shortage of manpower. As long as you are diligent enough, you can easily find a job.
As for the common problems of bosses oppressing workers and it being difficult to get paid on time after work, it is absolutely impossible here. The clergy of the Void Mask Church wander around the city all day long, like a group of vigilant hounds, looking for clues of various improper behaviors. They don't care about petty thefts, but they will take care of such cases as wage arrears.
The clergy's "management" method is quite simple and effective. Generally, they drag people to the street, erect a legal pillar as a temporary altar in public, and then publicly interrogate them. In front of the great power of His Majesty the Void Mask, no matter whether it is a profiteer or a liar, it is impossible to get away with it, and it is impossible to resist stubbornly. Once they are confirmed guilty, various torture instruments are often dragged out.
The most common torture instrument is the tickler, which will not cause substantial harm to people, but as long as you have seen the scene of people being tickled by it until tears, snot, and even feces and urine flow, but still laughing, no one dares to think it is mild and harmless.
The more intense torture device is the famous "electrotherapy chair", which is a chair with a gum base and a metal frame. The prisoner is tied to it tightly, and then as long as the switch is pressed, a beeping sound will be heard. After a while, blue and white electric light will appear on the metal frame, and the prisoner will be electrocuted to death.
It is said that this torture device is a very powerful magic prop. It can effectively prevent the punished person from being seriously injured or killed while torturing. However, not dying is not necessarily a good thing. Generally speaking, people who are electrocuted will be stupid for a few days, and in serious cases, they may even be stupid for a week-it is said that the worst one was stupid for half a month. Regardless of the pain at the time, the fact that he will become a fool for a period of time afterwards is enough to make people's hair stand on end.
These days, Hopps has witnessed a public trial of the Church of the Void Mask. The person on trial is a vagrant fraudster who always fabricates news about other people's children being injured or sick to defraud money.
In fact, it's okay to cheat money, but the most hateful thing is that his excuse is too bad, and more than one old man was scared sick!
The trial of this guy was quite simple. The evidence was conclusive. Under the power of God, he couldn't deny it. In the end, he was sentenced to "undead labor". As the priest chanted the spell, a dark green light fell on the temporary altar. The guy screamed and gradually stiffened, turning into a zombie.
Of course, this situation is only temporary. When the money he earned from labor is enough to pay off the fine, he can be restored to human form without any sequelae.
Well...assuming that "working with a group of real undead" will not leave him with any psychological trauma.
Hopps was a little curious and tried to inquire about it. Then he found that there were few death penalty in the Northwest Republic. Except for serious crimes such as murder, even spies or inciting rebellion would not be executed.
But this definitely does not mean that the legal penalties here are not strong enough - the so-called strength of the law depends not only on the intensity of the punishment, but also on the efficiency of discovering crimes and arresting criminals. In this regard, the Northwest Republic is simply outrageously high.
The residents here form a group of ten households. In addition to taking care of children in public kindergartens, the elderly in each group patrol the residential area on a daily basis. Because of the mixed races, there are both diurnal and nocturnal species, almost without interruption. Coupled with the serious and responsible patrolmen and the priests of the Void Mask Church who are always elusive, it is really difficult to commit crimes in the Northwest Republic without being discovered or caught!
Hopps likes this kind of environment very much, which makes people feel at ease. So even though he slept in the wild these days, he slept very comfortably.
However, when he returned to school, he saw that several cat people who were poorer than him were obviously fatter than when he first met them, and he couldn't help but wonder.
Those cat people are brothers, and the leader is called Walter. At the beginning, they and Hopps followed the same caravan to the Northwest Republic. Because cat people are almost pure carnivores, they live in a very embarrassing life, and they are all skinny. Hopps had thought that they would become even thinner because they could not eat grass these days, but he did not expect that these guys not only did not become thinner, but became a lot fatter.
He asked curiously and learned that these cat people had found a part-time job and had been working as deliverymen in the underground amusement park these days.
Under the Void City, there is a huge amusement park called "Dungeons and Dragons". This amusement park is full of traps and monsters. Although it will not cause real serious harm to people, it is indeed a bit scary. Tourists from all over the world who are interested in adventure but have no strength can go here to experience the feeling of adventure as long as they pay a small amount of money. If you are lucky, you can also earn some rare good things through the spoils.
There are various supplies scattered in the underground amusement park, which need to be checked and replenished regularly. This job is fragmented and troublesome, and is usually done by part-time workers. The cat people relied on their flexible bodies and dark vision, and they were like fish in water in the underground amusement park and completed the work very well.
This odd job adopts the method of paying more work and more pay, and they actually made a lot of money in the past few days. And because they are often invited by adventurers to eat together, they have meat almost every meal, and they have gained a lot of weight in a few days.
After returning from this trip, they gave up signing up because they have found a job that really suits them.
"Congratulations!" After asking clearly, Hopps said with a smile, "You are really amazing!"
"In fact, you can also find odd jobs to do." Walter said, "You are smart and clever, it is easy to find a job."
"Who would want a half-blood..."
"It is true in the Empire, but it is different here!" Walter's eyes lit up, "There is no discrimination against us here, and no one will think we are guilty because we cannot get a response from the gods. As for race, that is not a problem. I have seen goblins working as paramedics. Even goblins can find jobs, are you worse than goblins?"
Hopps was a little moved by what he said, but when he heard from Clerk Secret that he was admitted to the mineral processing major, he still maintained his original idea.
Doing odd jobs is not a long-term solution after all, it is better to learn a skill first!
